阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。　　

　　    If you ask some people, "How did you learn English so well?" You may get a surprising answer "In my sleep."　　 These are people who have taken part in one of recent experiments　　 to test "Learn-While-Sleep" methods which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one. Specialists say that this "sleep-study" method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however: sleep teaching will only strengthen in your mind what you have studied already while you are awake. In an experiment, lessons were broadcast over the radio, Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲)was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into　　 his ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a.m. his sleep ended and he had to get through the lesson again for three　　 hours before breakfast.　　

　　 　　(1) In the experiments to test "Learn-While-Sleep" _______.

[　　]

A. only English is tried　　 B. not only English is tried　　 　　

C. many subjects are tried　　D. only languages are tried

[    ] 　　

A. the student was wide awake　　

B. the student was fast asleep

C. the radio whispered the lesson again　　

D. a sharp noise woke up the sleeping student
